I just read Eat, Pray, Love. Right, I am just about 3 years behind the rest of you in my reading. Moving on.

I give it a B- overall, but I liked some parts of the book very much. One of the things I took away from it was the idea of putting an idea out there of something you want to happen. It reminds me of my sister's almost infallible rule that you can find a good parking spot anywhere if you just visualize it opening up for you. Having been in numerous situations with her where against all odds we got the perfect spot, I tend to lean in that general direction.

So these are things I am putting out there right now. Feel free to blow some good luck, parayers or karma dust in this general direction. If you leave your wants in the comments, I promise to visualize them for you when I am parallel parking in my great spot in front of the door.

I promise.

I want Christine and Bart to sell their house.

I want John to find a nice girl he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Michele - I am a total supporter of what you put out in the universe is what you get back. Positive out - positive in. But, I have to tell you - I am TOTALLY stealing the parking spot thing. I have nothing to add to your list. I am a pretty happy camper. And, if it makes you feel better - I haven't read that book either, though I want to.

So true. All of it. And, I'm right with you on the being behind in reading. I JUST discovered David Sedaris and, right after I finish the one I'm reading, I'm finally picking up Confessions of a Shopaholic. Hey, we had twins. That's our excuse.

No flames here. I definitely thought the book was self-absorbed and selfish, but she never presented it as anything but that. It was her journey.

When I first read your comment, I thought you meant my list was self-absorbed and selfish and I wanted to say "Hey! I am only on the list one time!!" But on second thought, I didnt ask for world peace or mercy on the terminally ill either. I will work on that.

If it makes you feel any better, EatPrayLove is *still* on my to-read list! If you could visualize my friend who's about to deliver having a fast painfree healthy delivery that'd be great. Oh, and to lobby for something self-absorbed? Linda Hamilton arms.
